Each year, at least 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans, the equivalent of a full garbage truck every minute. 

In February 2017 UN Environment launched #CleanSeas, with the aim of engaging governments, the general public, civil society and the private sector in the fight against marine plastic litter.

The campaign seeks to address the root causes of the problem through a five-year strategy that includea:

i)educating and engaging citizens,

ii) collaborating with governments and the private sector,

iii) replicating and scaling up the efforts around the world.
